DAMIEN

My head aches, my sight is unclear, the smell of smoke blocked my nostrils, but the feeling of water flowing over my leg soothed my skin. We crashed in that forest and the rivers water was clear as crystal.

I turn my head towards what felt like the sky as the headache becomes almost unbearable. I see the pilot hanging from the shattered window of the chopper, I reached for his neck to check for a pulse but there was none; He was dead.

As I try to stand up, I notice my index finger was broken, it was bent the other way "This will hurt like a bitch" I say to myself and I crack it back into it's place and hold in my scream.

I heard movement on the other side of the river, I walked towards it, only to see both Reznov and Vlad alive.

Argh Reznov.

I need aspirin for my hand and we need to get the hell away from here "FBI choppers won't be far behind, we need to get moving" Vlad said and they both turn to me "Any other survivor?" He asked again and I shook my head.

"What way is it to your Warehouse?" Vlad and Reznov looked around and Vlad pointed "This way" Then the journey began.

When the sun begins to set "We need a place to stay for the night, we won't make it before night fall" Vlad said.

Then I notice a big house just over the hill, white painted but the paint looked old. like it hadn't been repainted in years. The windows are flung open, it had no fence with dead leaves thrown all over the front lawn.

Then I see a girl in a flowery dress walk out, with some clothes in a basket and she begins to put them on a line that runs from a rusty pole to a hook on the exterior wall of the house.

Her face was too familiar but I couldn't really remember where I saw it, Vlad obviously sees it too because he heads towards the house, then she turns to look our way... HOLY SHIT!.

Its that Kimberley chick from school, when she sees us its like she had just seen a ghost, why is she looking at me like that... Wait have they already started looking for me?.

But I realized it isn't me, its Vlad. The thought of Kim knowing Vlad almost made me faint, my heart started pounding.

What if she remembers me? Of course she will but then she will tell Vlad she knows me... Crap, I sent her a pleading and I'll-explain-later-eyes.

Then she ran inside leaving her basket on the ground. I need to tell her not to say a word maybe she wouldn't get my eyes and think I was just creepy. I grabbed the basket of clothes off the ground and walk towards the house.

I saw a rocking chair beside the door with a few flower vases. These flowers remind me of granny. She loved flowers a lot and spent most of her day reading to them, like they ever even cared, crazy old lady, my crazy old lady.

Then a woman steps out holding a shot gun and points it at us "What are you doing here Vladimir?" For the first time I see a hint of both fear and shock on Vlads face.

She must be Kimberley's mother, her black hair is tied into a ponytail, she is wearing a red sweatshirt and blue jeans and her brown eyes are the most significant thing about her.

Wait up, she knows Vlad? This cannot be good.

"Okay, honey please do not do anything impulsive here" Honey? Is she his wife? is Kim his daughter?

My mouths falls open, I look at Vlad then to her but Kim keeps her eyes on me and the moment our eyes meet the conversation Vlad and his wife are having faded to the back of my head, she walks towards me and stretches her arm out to collect the basket.

She looks me in the eye and raises an eyebrow "Its complicated, but please don't tell him you know me" I whisper to her and she nods walking back behind her mother.

By the time she walks back Kim's mum had put her gun down and she walked inside giving way for us to follow.

We follow in closing the door behind us. The interior is a little old fashioned with a shelf of books, I notice a brown hand bag, I think that's the same one Kim took to school.

I seat on the couch while Vlad heads for the kitchen but reznov stays outside on the rocking chair.

"So, you know my dad?" I look up to see Kim looking at me with her hands on her hips, oo sassy, I like that " Well... It's complicated"

"No it's not, do or do not?" She raises an eye brow. Why does she do that? "Do not but I am starting to" she looks disappointed by my answer but obviously shoves the feeling away.

"Do u want something to eat?" of course! I just fell from the sky for Christ's sake

"Yes, please and aspirin" she gets up and leaves me alone in the dinning room. I hear Vlad and his wife arguing. How does a man like this have a wife? He is a monster, a bloody murderous monster.

But yet so was I. Then his wife leaves the kitchen and goes up the stairs and he follows her.

Kim comes back with some food, veggies, the aspirin and a cup of water "Reznov doesn't like you very much, does he?" I turn to look towards the door and see him looking at me with a scowl on his face.

"Well, yes" as I take a spoon full of the food "This tastes really good" she blushes

"Thanks" Then she tucks her hair behind her ear. When I was done she cleared the plates for me, I wanted to stop her but she insisted but I followed her anyway.

Kim is by the sink, backing me. Her dress is short and bloody sexy "So,what's up with your mum and dad?"

She is startled a little but quickly regains herself "The normals" her legs are really smooth by the way "Which are?"

She stops and turns to me " Well... Loving wife, dumb abusive husband, shit like that and I don't expect a gorgeous kid like you to understand" A smug grin immediately spreads across my face at her words.

She then turns around and continues with the dishes "You think I'm gorgeous?" She doesn't reply.

I walk slowly towards her, I knew she could hear my foot steps but she just stayed there. I guess I had to make the bold move besides what's the worst that can happen maybe she'll resent me, run to tell daddy then he'll cut off my balls and feed it to dogs.

I place my hands softly on her hip; it was more reassuring than sexual and she inhales sharply but relaxes into my touch. I place the hair in front of her face behind her ear as I kiss her neck then her jaw I become instantly hard as she moans.

I had a way with ladies but this one drove me insane, and I haven't even gotten to second base yet. I pulled away so I wouldn't feel guilty, she was willing but I didn't want to use her.

"Did I do something?" She looked a little disappointed... Again "No, not at all... I should go" lucky I pulled away cause Vlad busted in without warning looking for me

"We are staying here for the night we leave in the morning, you're taking the couch"

Pointing at me and I nod "And oh stop staring at my daughters ass if not I'll cut off your balls and feed it to dogs" wow.

All I can think about is what happened in the kitchen, the way her body fit perfectly into mine the way her skin felt on my palm the way electricity flowed through us, then my eyes closed slowly.
